A police station in the UK may get its first “police cat”, thanks to a letter from a five-year-old
girl named Eliza. Eliza has a cat named Mittens and a dog named Susie. The animal-loving kid
asked her local Chief Constable ( 警 察 局 长 ) Mike Barton to 36 using police cats
alongside(与…同时) police dogs.
Eliza even explained why cats should be used by the police in the letter. “Cats have good ears
and can listen out for danger,” 37 the letter. Police cats may also help people find their way
home if they are lost, Eliza added.
Mr Barton replied and told her the force would look to recruit (招募) its first cat, though its
duties are not decided yet. Eliza’s parents were astonished ( 震 惊 ) to receive a letter of 38
from him containing a drawing of his own cat, Joey.
Mr Barton wrote, “ Dear Eliza, thank you for your letter suggesting the police should use
cats 39 police dogs. I am going to ask my inspector who is in charge of police dogs to think
about your good idea.”Eliza’s mother Cherry said she was amazed when the force replied to her
daughter's letter. “She came up with a few ideas about what the cats could do, like climbing trees
to rescue people,” she said. “I think she made some very valid point.”

Do you know what “social eating” is? It’s not a super club. Actually, it’s a western name of
the South Korean online trend: “mukbang”, or eating broadcast. In a mukbang video, people eat
40 food in front of a camera and broadcast it online. At the same time, they do their best to
interact with their audience， 41 talking about the food’s taste and answering questions from
them. If the audience like the performance, they can support the mukbang host by donating small
amounts of money. Some mukbang hosts even live on this and earn 10,000 dollars (about 67,000
yuan) a month!
Why do these people eat in front of the world? As humans, we always want the Internet
world to be as close to our real life 42 . Food is an international topic. Everyone can relate to it.
What’s more, we live in a busy world. Sometimes it’s very hard to find time to sit down and eat
with other people. Social eating seems to help people 43 each other in their busy lives.
So next time you are alone and need dinner company, you can watch a mukbang broadcast.

A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): ( 12 分)
Cruises are becoming more and more popular, with around 20 million passengers per year
now enjoying holidays on board luxury（奢侈的） ships. More people see a cruise as the perfect
way to sit back and do nothing, and enjoy time off work. But what is the effect on the environment
of this trend?
Although it usually takes less energy for a vehicle to move through
water than over land, cruise ships are often massive, with the biggest ones
carrying up to 6,000 passengers. Moving such large vehicles requires
huge engines which burn as much as 300,000 litres of fuel a day. One教育资源分享店铺 网址：https://shop175591889.taobao.com 微信号：kingcsa333
scientist has calculated that cruise ships create as much pollution as 5 million cars going over the
same distance. Because they are out at sea, they also burn dirtier fuel that isn’t allowed on land.
Unfortunately, no government has control over the amount of air pollution out at sea.
Cruises also produce huge amounts of rubbish, and cruise ships aren’t usually good at
recycling. Waste water from showers and toilets is usually poured directly into the sea – as much
per day as from a small town. Waste food from restaurants isn’t put into the sea, but still causes
problems when brought back to the land.
Cruise ships also cause difficulties in the cities where they stop. Popular destinations can get
five or six ships per day, with thousands of tourists at a time. Good for restaurants? No. Restaurant
owners complain that the visitors look around for a few hours and then return to their ship to eat.
What’s more, the crowds can put off other tourists, who complain that the streets are too busy.
Some towns have banned（禁止）cruise ships or put a limit on the number that can stop at the
same time. People who care about the environment worry that as the cruise industry continues to
grow, so too will the issues for our planet.
59. The underlined word “trend” is closest in meaning to .
A) problem B) event C) decision D) change
60. The biggest cruise can hold about passengers.
A) 20,000,000 B) 6,000 C) 300,000 D) 5,000,000
61. Cruise ships cause a lot of air pollution because .
A) they carry large numbers of cars and passengers as well
B) it takes more energy to move through water than over land
C) they use types of fuel that are not allowed on land
D) their engines are not as powerful as those of other vehicles
62. How is waste water dealt with on cruise ships?
A) It’s brought into a town. B) It’s properly recycled.
C) It’s thrown away at sea. D) It’s stored in the ships.
63. Why are cruise ship passengers not popular in some cities?
A) They don’t spend money on meals.
B) They fill up the restaurants and make noise.
C) They complain when the city is too crowded.
D) They are sometimes rude to other tourists.
64. The purpose of the passage is to .
A) introduce a new way of travelling B) encourage people to try cruise ships
C) advise governments to ban cruise ships D) explain some problems cruise ships cause

Many of us love stories of time travel, aliens, and the future. But Chinese sci-fi (科幻小说)
has not seen much 65 until now. One work from a Chinese writer made it a hit around
the world.
On Aug 23, Liu Cixin, 52, won the world’s top sci-fi prize. He’s the first Asian to
66 win the Hugo Award. Liu received the award for Best Novel through his book The
Three-body Problem (《三体》).
Liu’s winning work takes the reader back to China in the 1970s. In the book, scientists found教育资源分享店铺 网址：https://shop175591889.taobao.com 微信号：kingcsa333
a planet (行星) with three suns. The aliens on the planet created their own civilization ( 文明)
called “three-body”. The aliens planned to invade (入侵) Earth, but humans on Earth started to
form camps to 67 themselves from danger.
Liu uses his professional background in computer engineering to write the book. His work is
seen as “hard science fiction”, which aims for scientific accuracy ( 准确). Some say this is
68 Liu’s novels stand out among other similar Chinese books.
The Chinese culture in Liu’s work also makes his book 69 . For example, Liu’s work
talks about filial piety (孝顺). This is a theme Western sci-fi doesn’t pay much attention to.
Most importantly, Liu’s work, like many successful works of science fiction, is popular with
people who are unsure of the future. 70 Liu, China is growing quickly and is full of
temptations (诱惑). This makes it the perfect time for sci-fi.
“People nowadays are locked (困住) in this small box of reality, but science fiction is a way
to broaden our minds”, said Liu.

**Money Matters **
Four tips for high financial（财务，金融的）IQ
1.Spend less than you earn
The key to wealth is living below your means (财产). If you make $ 300,000 a year and spend
it all, you’re not rich--you just have a lot of stuff. A job loss or serious i 71 could destroy you
in a few weeks. Your neighbors who make $50,000 and live on $40,000 are much wealthier.
Fortunately, with today’s technology, keeping a budget has never been easier. Buy financial
planning software that allows you to add up your i 72 and expenses and keep a record of your
spending.
2.Keep a budget (预算)
A budget allows you to spend money on things you really need or want. A budget r 73
you to keep track of (跟踪) your expenses. You see where your money actually goes and plan
where to cut back on spending. The money you used to spend daily on little things l 74
coffee or taxis can go toward something more important.
3.Pay off your credit cards (信用卡)
Credit cards can be w 75 things. You can treat yourself to a well-known brand bag or
a good dinner without worrying whether you have the cash (现金) to pay for it. The教育资源分享店铺 网址：https://shop175591889.taobao.com 微信号：kingcsa333
downside(不利的一面), of course, is that credit cards let many people live beyond their means. If
you are not paying your credit card bills in full, you’re p 76 living beyond your means.
4.Have a saving program
S 77 saving early. If you invest $50 a week for 40 years and earn 9% interest (利息), you
will end up with $1,026,853. People spend because they get a good feeling from spending money.
You can get that good feeling from putting your money away in savings.
D.Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12 分)
Many expensive nutrition additives(添加剂) advertised on TV say they can improve your
memory, but only ordinary food and health habits have been shown to work.
A research team from UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles) has designed a four-
step plan to improve your memory in just 14 days. “It sounds like another advertisement, but it
really works,” says UCLA professor Gary Small.
The team found the four-step plan improved memory function in teenagers under stress and
older people. After a two-week study that included crossword puzzles, exercise and diet changes,
test subjects’（试验对象）memories worked more efficiently.
Here’s the program:
Memory training: Train yourself with brain-teaser, crossword puzzles and memory exercises
that train verbal skills throughout the day.
Healthy diet: Eat five rather than three meals a day. The food should be rich in omega-3 fats,
such as whole grains and vegetables that contain antioxidants(抗氧化剂). Having frequent meals
helps increase blood glucose(血糖), the primary energy source for the brain.
Physical fitness: Have regular physical exercise such as walking, playing basketball or
running, every day.
Stress reduction: Perform stretching and relaxation exercises. Stress causes the body to
release a chemical that can shrink (缩小,收缩) the memory centers in the brain.
Before-and-after brain scans showed that test subjects experienced on the average a 5 percent
increase in working memory. This suggests they were using their brains more efficiently. A control
group that didn’t follow the plan showed no big changes.
“We’ve known for years that diet and exercise can help people keep their physical health,
which is a key part of healthy aging,” said Small. “But keeping mental health is just as important.
Now we have evidence that people can improve their memories through a program of memory
exercises and stress reduction."
